Definitely this movie is all set in Britain, tries to deal with the sentiments of the Indians who settled abroad in the hope of a better life, and the atrocities they supposedly faced on foreign land, but this movie has no good script and is a vague imitation of SRK's Chak de, although in a different setup! Quite impractical as bollywood flick generally are, a bowler who hasn't practiced for 17 yrs except in the dark of the night, comes and changes the scenario for the England cricket team, an underutilization of Akshay's acting skills. The only watchable thing is Anushka's expressions and how she is evolving into a professional actress so quickly since the days of RNBDJ! And ya, HardKaur should not try this other career alternative! She is better of with her rap, off stage than on it! Three cheers to Anushka Sharma! Wish you good luck.

Rubbish!, pretty much describes this.. well I wouldn't even want to call this a movie because movie is suppose to have some story somewhere.story: Story is a common term for a recounting of a sequence of events, or for a statement regarding the facts pertinent to a situation in question.what is most shameful is that some of the biggest actors in the Bollywood like Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Anushka Sharma even agreed to act in this nonsense.I'm sure they must have been paid a considerable amount but actors of such class shouldn't sell there dignity for something so cheap.I fell in love with Anushka when I saw her in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" but after that she kept disappointing her audience by doing useless movies and after this, she has lost all respect and love in my eyes, and I am sure as well as her other fans.

Saw the movie last night. Well, definitely worth and more. Like some other poster, I refrain from posting reviews, esp. when you feel that IMDb board, when it comes to Indian Cinema, seems manipulated. Movies like Guzzarrish getting high marks is a perfect example...Patiala house worked for me at several levels. Story was smooth.. Script was tight. Dialogues were crisp. Protag dealing with the demons is well articulated. Anuska's character could have been better developed. Rishi and Dimple play their roles extremely well.Story has momentum. Script and characters have multi-dimension. Father-Son relationship is easier to relate. Generational gaps are well explored. I am a bit surprised to see below 6 ranking bu imdbers.Nikhil does a wonderful job on keeping story fluid and engaging. One of the very few movies that I sat through w/o second guessing. Good job!

I haven't written movie comments for years, but I feel like this movie deserves a review.I am one of those guys who has been cursing Akshay Kumar the last 2 years for making stupid movies, and getting a lot of popularity for cheap scale movies which has done big on the Box Office screen....I never really understood why people are so fund of watching the same comedy movies over and over Until the comedy aspect dies in the movie and it gets painful to watch the movie example: Action Replay, Tees Mar Khan etc.BUT PATIALA HOUSE made me think different regarding Akshay Kumar and his acting....this movie Akki played very well, and showed his acting skills and he deserves to get credit for that. The show stealer in this movie is Rishi Kapoor, he was perfect as Akki's father and made a powerful impact. Rest of the cast was good and acted very matured and it was good to see Dimple Kapadia again...Anushka Sharma is a delight to watch, every entry she makes the crowd smile, and I can see her one day becoming a top actress in Bollywood.so Is this movie worth a One time Watch: YES and Is this movie worth a Two time Watch: YESGo for this movie, its worth every single cent.
